One Year.

Friday marked one year since I got it in my head that I should start a blog and published the first post on Manhattan Nest. I had something more exciting planned for this post, but as Friday passed into Saturday and Saturday turned into Sunday and all of a sudden it was Monday… well, that’ll just have to wait. I’ve been busy, busy, busy.

But I figured one year in blogland warranted something, so I’m piping up to send out a big cosmic thank you to all of you sexy folks who, for whatever reason, like this site. Because I like this site. A year ago, I never expected anybody to read what I had to say on here. I had no concept of the amazing amount of support and generosity I would end up getting from my little blog, and no sense of the fun I’d have writing it. I never could have imagined the number of truly special and important people it’s single-handedly brought into my life, and certainly no prediction of how much my little slice of internet real estate would come to mean to me. What started as a bizarre pastime really has altered my life in so many ways.

So thank you, for all of it. Regular commenters, subscribers, people who remember to check back once every three months—you’re all a part of what makes this fun for me. I’m not sure I’ll ever understand what brings people here or why they’d ever choose to stay, but I’m glad you enjoy it, kind stranger.

Now that we’re past the mushy part, I thought it might be both fun and terrifying to open a little Q & A. Anything you’re DIY-ing to know about the blog, or me, or my imaginary dog? Ask away. I’ll publish the answers in a week? Sound good? Awesome. Have at it.

    No particular questions, but congrats on getting to the one-year milestone! I think people may like reading for a combination of your funny writing, clear tutorials, good photography and bitchin’ design. That might have something to do with it.

    Lena said:

    Have I commented before? I am not sure, I always hesitate because your writing is so very funny and I love your aesthetic and DIY-skills!
    Anyway, my question has something to do with how you became interested in interiour design. Does it have something to do with your family, was it friends or something else?

    Congratulations! I read your blog because you write well and have a great eye! I have learned quite a lot from reading this blog. Now, what I really want to know, is how you finally decided to display your vintage flashcards? I have some of my own but before I decide what to do with themI would like to see your take . Thanks and keep blogging!

    Happy anniversary, Daniel. On this joyous occasion I thought I’d inform you that your blog is also much enjoyed overseas (and your thriftstore bargains passionately envied). Greetings from Munich, Germany.

    Congratulations! Your blog is so awesome and a big inspiration to me, since I’m moving into my own tiny apartment in Chicago as we speak. It’s been awesome to watch your apartment progress and it’s making me itch to do something crazy to mine!

    My question: What is the name and breed of your imaginary dog?

    I just started a decorating blog as well, and while my three friends read it and tell me that I crack them up….no one else does.

    HOW did you get the word out about your blog?

    Thanks

    Happy blog birthday! Going for a year is a great accomplishment. Others have already said it…we read because you are a great writer, have slick design skillz, and combine the two in such an entertaining way. My question is – what do you hope to be doing professionally by age 40?

  16. 3.29.11
    Kirsten said:

    no question, just congrats. You have a great blog that I always enjoy and I’ve been really inspired by you and Anna.

    How do you go about searching for gems in the city? And if you find them, how do you get it home?

    Also, do you have any advice for those of us with zero carpentry skills but tons of tools (that my dad keeps hoping I’ll learn to use)?

      Ask your dad to teach you. He’d love it.

      OK, must interject here. In defense of all the great women of the world. Daniel’s father, while a wonderful husband, father, and person has no skills with the tools. In fact, he has been banned from light bulb changing, after breaking a fixture in attempting to do so. Everything Daniel learned about tools he learned from either me or his experiences in theater arts classes and productions at his high school.

    Congratulations Daniel! Your blog continues to be a great source of fun and inspiration. When it comes to questions… what’s your favourite movie? And do you like shoes with laces or velcro best?

  21. 3.29.11

    Congrats, it has been quite a year and you totally deserve all of it! Looking forward to what year two will bring.

    P.S. – Bailey would like to set-up a play date with your imaginary dog.

    We the people like your blog because you are very funny, because you are creative and clever, because you are resourceful, because you love a bargain, because you have a good eye, because you are not a mom, and because you live in Manhattan in a cool apartment. I think most of us would like to be or do all of or most of those things, no?

    Happy one year! Here’s to many more.

    Happy 1st Year Anniversary! No question, but wanted to drop a line and say how much I enjoy your blog. It makes me laugh. Out loud. Often alone in my office. Like a crazy person. So thank you for that.

    Happy 1st Year! You are a smart-ass writer and I love seeing what you come up with next.

    I think my question would be–did you ever get a new roommate? And if not, how cheap IS your rent on a two-bedroom in NYC to live alone sir? And can I move in? (As a vacation spot, I mean.)

    Alicia said:

    Hey Daniel! Congrats on one year. I’ve been reading since the beginning and check in all the time for updates.

    I guess my question would be… after schoolwork is done, how do you find balance between hunting for decor, decorating your apartment, hanging out with friends and all of the other things you do in your free time? There are so many thrift stores in NYC, sometimes it seems like it you could perpetually spend your entire day from opening until closing going from store to store, right?! Do you stick to the ones just in your neighborhood, or venture elsewhere? That was a few questions, but you get the picture!

  27. 3.29.11

    Mamm Biscuit and family would like to congratulate you on your one year blog anniversary! I’m a fairly new follower and have enjoyed what you have to share so far—keep it up!!

    Now, onto the more pressing issue, my question is: boxer, briefs, thongs, jock straps or nude, which one are you? Mamma B. really wants to know ;-)

    Daniel, congratulations on hitting your one-year anniversary! You have real talent as a writer AND designer. It’s not easy to tell interesting stories day after day, and you do it. It’s no fun reading blogs where the authors can’t write, can’t spell, and don’t bother trying to improve, so to find yours, where you write so cleanly and clearly, is a pleasure.

    Let’s see, I think someone asked this already: what’s your plan? What are you hoping to do with your life?

    Thanks for sharing what’s up with your life!

    Congratulations! It’s amazing what you’ve accomplished in just one year. You are on fire! I read a fair share of shelter blogs, and even though you don’t post as often, your blog is hands down my favorite. For the funny, for the pretty, and for the creativity. Also, you just seem like a nice person, and I like that. :)

    And as for my question, Daniel, how did you get to be so cool?

    Amanda said:

    Of all the blogs I read (and that’s several), yours is the most consistantly well written. The voice you use, slightly self-depreciating, slightly smarmy, but ever so charming, brings me back to see what you’ll say time and time again. Even though my carpenter fiance would never accept someone’s repurposed nightstand in our home, I still come here for inspiration because you are doing it and doing it well. Everyone talks about how they should really *fill in the blank* but never can quite find the time. You, however, a student with seemingly healthy freindships and hobbies, still take the time to make the space in which you reside your home. So congrats to you and your first blogirthday. I hope I’m still reading you on your 50th. :)
    Question: I’m planning a wedding and want really unique programs. Unfortunately most of my ideas have been sort of, well *yawn*. Any truely fabulous, inspiring ideas?

      Vivian said:

      Just found your blog recently, but I really enjoy it. Inspired me to get going on some projects that have been waiting for me to find some energy after chasing the twins around! Probably shouldn’t be trying to tackle three of them at once, though!

      Congrats on a year!

      @Amanda, for some inspiration, check out my niece’s site: http://www.newborrowblue.com/ She does some cool work!

      As a self described ‘anti-bride’, I found great design sense from stylemepretty.com when planning my nuptials. As a result, we eloped and then graced the cover of a bridal magazine– go figure. Good luck and happy planning.

    Daniel- congrats! I am a huge fan, and check up on you and Anna D daily to make sure I am not missing anything. I love love your DIY projects. I tried the fabric window idea with the cornstarch paste, and it is gorgeous! Your directions were easy to follow, and it turned out exactly as you said it would. Thank You!

    My question to you is: do you see more frequent blog posts in your future? :-)

    What blogs do you read for inspiration? I would love to know.

    OK, here’s my question: WTF do I do with this huge-@ss bedroom?!

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/selfmadepsyche/5419595299/

    The space is seriously huge, we could fit like 4 queen sized beds in there and still have room for the dresser. The biggest problem is that I love the big horse blanket hanging on the wall by the bed, but I feel like it makes putting anything else on the walls really hard – because it’s hard to match – and we don’t want to paint. Any ideas?

    • 4.6.11
      Daniel said:

      Gosh, that’s a HUGE room! Hard to say without really knowing your taste/needs, but have you tried moving the bed to the longer wall? Might make things feel less enormous!

  35. 3.29.11

    CONGRATULATIONS from me and Evan and Fritz and Bruno! We’re all so happy we’ve gotten to know you over the past year. You’re a good friend to the four of us.

    Cheesy but must be said, long time reader first time commenter. You’ve been a fun find online and I enjoy following your adventures in design, especially since until last month I lived on the UES also. I’ve moved out to Williamsburg and my question is do you know of any decently priced couch slip covers that are colorful?

    As a fellow college student, I have my list of procrastination websites (I’m sure you understand), and you are all the way at the tippy-top. Hilarious writing, gorgeous pictures. I’m pretty sure you could even make my 7×8 bedroom pretty if you ever felt like taking a drive to the exciting state of Delaware.

    As for a question, Apartment Therapy is doing their Small Cool contest, and I believe your gorgeous apartment would be eligible? Whether or not your living room is ready, spam with pictures of your bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom and they’ll be dazzled.

    How can I add more light to my apartment without busting out a wall or filling up all of my floor plan with lamps? Should I replace my ceiling fan with a bright fixture? Or would that be goofy?

    • 4.6.11
      Daniel said:

      Do you need the fan? In my view, replacing a ceiling fan with a nice light fixture is usually a great idea! Those fans can get pretty ugly.

    • 4.10.11
      Bright said:

      I burn things while cooking, so the fan is sort of a necessity for me. It’s just hideous and provides little to no light (I actually don’t bother with putting bulbs in it anymore, since it’s a useless bitch!)

    My questions:

    As a fellow New Yorker, I’d like to find out where you thrift.

    Also, what are you studying at NYU?
    I’m hoping it involves writing and style.

    2 questions:

    1. How do you balance the desire to own awesome vintage furniture with the p.i.t.a. that it is to own stuff and schlep it around NYC? After four years here, I own a mattress, some books and clothes, a couple pieces of art, and a few kitchen tchotchkes. Everything else I inevitably pitch when I move apartments because it it too. much. hassle.

    2. Thrift store/flea market recommendations that you haven’t previously mentioned? Especially little neighborhood places that you’d never hear of otherwise.

    Also, thanks for the endorsment on Magic Erasers, is there anything they can’t clean?!?

    Congratulations, Manhattan Nest, to a great blog, all the way from Sweden.
    My question, which designer stores would you recommend for me to visit when I get to NYC in june?

    • 4.6.11
      Daniel said:

      Designer stores?! Oh gosh… um. I don’t really go to those. There’s a gorgeous vintage shop that’s crazy expensive called Lost City Arts down in the East Village that I sometimes go to, just to drool over all the things I can’t afford.

  55. 4.1.11

    I hooked up into your blog from the first time i spotted the dyi desk!
    Such a nonchalant spirit, thanks for sharing. Makes me feel more at ease when improving and renovating my living spaces. Long live Manhattan Nest!

    Joanna said:

    Congrats on your one year!!! So I have to tell you it is because of you that I became obsessed with George Nelson bubble lamps (you know, the posting about your bedroom before and after). I have managed to score two of them!!! A small saucer for $85 and I just got a medium cigar for $70! Not as great a deal as your purchase of course… but not bad. So here comes by question..

    The cigar lamp I just bought is a bit… wonky (hence the price). How did you un-wonk your saucer????

    I heart your blog!

    JT

    • 4.6.11
      Daniel said:

      Check to make sure that the vertical wires are all in the proper holes in the metal rings on the bottom and top of the lamp, and kind of delicately jiggle around ones that seem off, if that makes sense. If the wires are actually bent, I think it’s just about very very delicately trying to unbend them into the shape they’re meant to be in. Good luck! And those are great deals if you can fix them up!!

    I am so very glad you decided to start a blog a year ago. I really love your sense of humor and style and I do have to admit your blog is one of the first I look every time check my reader to see if you updated.

    So here’s an odd question and certainly a good one if you want to start a conversation in a group: What’s your favorite thing to eat cold out of a can? We all have a guilty food substance we can fall back on when we live alone (or not) and don’t feel like heating up anything. It’s interesting what people will say!

    PS. Love that your Mom answered one of your questions! I’d love to see an interview of her on this blog!

    Have to say you and David Sedaris are the only ones that makes me really laugh out loud with your writings. Everyone else gets a smirk or a hint of a smile.

    You have me banging my knee with your blog – and that’s a true compliment.

    Most of my friends don’t get my passion for thrifting and when I show off my finds – aka “6 dollars for 10 pieces of this vintage pyrex!!” – the looks I get are the same as when people are staring at monkeys scratching their butts in the zoo.

    So please keep up with your blog – I have made you one of my homepages and when I need a good laugh or motivation to do something around the house I reread your postings.

    Guess my question to you have to be – where do you plan on moving after graduating? Please let it be Florida :) I would love to have you as my thrifting buddy.

    You’re reaching readers from all over he world too. I’m in Australia. I’m SO jealous of your thrifty finds. There’s no way you’d find stuff that good here.
    We are much more restricted in Australia when renting too, the rules seem really different in the U.S.
    What sort of freedom do you have to decorate? (for example we cant paint here)
    Does the Landlord give any money towards costs of updating? Do you need the landlords permission?

    I found your blog by accident a couple of months ago, and absolutely adore it.
    What I really want to know is where the heck is that crazy Portland thrift store where you found the shell chairs? Sometimes on Saturdays I’ll just drive randomly around town looking for it.

      Grandma’s Funky Furniture! It’s at 6852 SE Foster Road… which is around 70th street or so? I don’t know Portland all that well.

    Congratulations Daniel !
    I’m a “long time reader, first time commenting…” from Dijon (Burgondy), France and I LOVE your writing ! I’m studying English and reading blogs like this one, not only helps my comprehension of the language -in its “everyday”, use-, but also gives me great ideas to decorate my tiny student apartment -hélas! there aren’t as many thrift stores in Dijon as in NYC, so thanks Ikea ^^.
    Keep up the excellent work! (I’m just starting my own website and I’m already lacking inspiration/motivation…lazy me)

    Congratulations Daniel, a year already wow. What a writer, it’s a gift. And the apartment’s coming along pretty fancy too. I think you’re studying a media course, I suppose I wondered whether you want a career in design journalism after college. Or maybe you’re not thinking that far ahead yet?

    Hi Daniel,

    Happy anniversary! I have some questions: 1) How did you find that great kilim on ebay? Did you use any specific search terms or just stumble upon it? I’ve been looking for a wile now and haven’t had any luck finding decent affordable options. 2) Are you planning to keep your apartment for the summer or move home? 3) Do you think you’ll look for another roommate or just enjoy having some extra space?

      I think I just search “kilim” and sorted the results by price! I don’t really remember. My lease ends in mid-june, so I’ll be in New York for the summer… still deciding if I’ll find another roomie or just move, but right now I’m loving my own place.

    ever worry about bedbugs while thrifting/scavenging? any thoughts on avoiding those nasties?

    Believe it or not, you have a devoted follower who hails from Moose Jaw. Love the Saskatchewan connection…but maybe you need to educate your readers on the proper pronunciation of Regina.

    You know what I’m talking about.
